pre-Cylonpocalypse

Real citation: "I was surprised to see that the strip club the Tighs were atpre-Cylonpocalypsewas full of women gyrating around stripper poles, and no men. Are we supposed to think that suddenly once on Galactica, gender dynamics changed? Or was it just a throwaway stereotypical signifier of a 'dissolute' society?"(March 24, 2009, Hoyden About Town, http://viv.id.au/blog/20090324.4284/tv-tuesday-battlestar-galactica-spoiler-thread/)

Made-up citation: "My sex life was better pre-Cylonpocalypse. Something about the obliteration of 99% of humanity really harshed my mellow, and there's not enough Barry White in the galaxy to make it better."
